WASHINGTON, April 28.—The ex- pectation here is that the formal invitation to the United States to ac- cept a mandate over Armenia may be delivered to the State Department through one of the Allied Ambassa- dors. While it may be handed to Ambassador Johnson, the fact that he is present only Informally as an ob- server is said to make the other chan- nel of communication the more log- jeal one. While the probable attitude of the United States Government ‘toward such a mandath has been assumed from the tenor of discussions in Con- gress and elsewhere, as a matter of fact a definite position has not yet been taken, The Senate reservation concerning mandates requires the ap- proval of Congress before the United States can be obligated, but dobs not apecifivally declare against acceptance TREATY OPPONENTS. ‘But what is ung true is that these elements have of their own votition ge into the primaries to show thelr gratitude to Hiram Joha- son. His point of view on the treaty was taken long before the opposition to the pact became positive through- gut the country, His pleas to return American soldiers from Siberia, which. won Johnson 90 much appreciation on the part of relatives of the soidiere in Michigan, was a 1 part of the Johnson campaign for national jaola- tion, Political leaders here seem to recog- nize the sources of Johnson strength and respect them as a considerable factor in Republican politics. ‘They are not as sure of the indi- vidual leanings of voters on Wood, Lowden or Harding.’ Al three scem to draw from the same large group of lar Republicans. Indeed, the Re- pul leaders ure very much elated over the combined vote xiven all ite- ‘publican candidates as compared with the scattering votes in Democratic primaries everywhere, where the con- test as between McAdoo, Palmer, Cox or Hoover js just as much a free-for- all_as the Republican contest. With the knowledge that President ‘Wilson wants to make the treaty the principal isssue of the campaign, the Republican primary results grow doubly interesting. In ‘Washington, where from the beginn|: the R publican party has been divided be- tween “irreconcilables" who wished to see the whole treaty and ue defeated, and “reservationists" who wanted America to enter the Learuc and ratify the treaty with qualifying conditions, the vote in the primaries is taken as conclusive evidence that can Senators of both classes were not simply following their own personal likes or dislikes but that the rank and Tile of the party itself shows “irreconciiadles’’ as well ag “reserva~ tionists.” SPLIT GROWS BETWEEN THE REPUBLICAN WINGS. Again, therefore, as President Wil- son forces the jase, the split between the two wings of the party grows. Senator Hiram Johnson's following appears ag uncompromising as thelr Jeader, Fusion on the treaty issue will be well nigh impossible. Maj. Gen, Wood, Gov. Lowden, Senator Harding annd even Herbert Hoover are friendly to the Treaty, But to gt the Johnaon support they mu denounce the whole business aa vi orously as he has done, Mr. Wilson may be a very man and out of politios and all that sort of thing, but just as soon as the ‘ty conventions are held or per- Fae sooner, his tactics will be to force a showdow the treaty question, n on jw praying for the nomination of Hiram Johngon. Every move and manoeuvre shows it. The most per- plexing for the Wilson strategy would be the nomination of Hoover, Low- den, Wood or Harding, ail of whom would be wo enthusiastically for the pain mart of the treaty that the Democrats would have difficulty in waging & campaign of opposition on | the detatis of phraseology In the res- ervaitions or qualifying clauses and the cammign woukt be more apt to be decided on purely domestic issues, Goverument Troops Cleni mn of Nationnlints, April 25.—The entire re- | gion of Adabazar, 75 miles northeast of ruse, has been cleared of the Turkish | Nationalist forces, according toa | Reuter dispnich from Constantinople | under date of Tuesda Sharp figh Adabusar forces of Pasha, National | lost heavily. leader, April sick | TURKISH REBELS DEFEATED. { of any mandate, In some quarters the fecling is ex- that the United States could accept a mandate over Armenia inde- pendently of action on the Versailles treaty and the League of Nations.

According to a letter received by Alex- ander.Mallshvesky of the American Cen- tral Russian Relief Committee from for- mer Gen, Peter Sekreteff, Zinovieff, “firebrand of the Russian revolution,” dictator of Petrograd and President of the Third Internationale, has been as- sassinated. The same information came to the committees a week ago from EB. Percy Noel, an agent at Riga. Zinovieff, a journalist, about forty years old. was for a timo satellite of Lenine and « busy press agent for him. He was highly educated and spent many years in Paris, a refugee from the Car's wrath, because of his revolutionary views. As ruler of Petrograd he was noted for his great efficiency as 9 municipal administrator, He kept the city sani- tary and orderly. Thefts and brawls were almost unknown. He was ruth- less In executing those who opposed the Commun.’ He ordered the execu- tion of 512 hostages in reprisal for the assassination of Ouritaky, Food Ad- ministrator who had executed hundreds on charges of food speculation, Later it was learned that Ouriteky had be- come enormously wealthy during his term of office, Zlovielf was responsible for the send- ing of a division of 12,000 school boys into the trenches before Petrograd to meet the advance of the anti-Bolshevik army in the belief that the invaders would shrink from the slaughter of children. His name has been aigned to much of the Soviet literature sent to this country, SAD BLOW DEALT solely on its own merits and without reference to Senate action on the Ver- watiles treaty, President Wilson had before him ut the Cabinet meeting the report of Ambassador Johnson from San Remo.

Wood and Hoover would throw the Republican nomination to Johnson, Mrs. Robinson began her appeal with & discussion of Johnson, who, she said, wes drifting toward a dangerous rad- fealism. This was mot with a storm of hisses, whereupon Mrs, Robinson said quickly: “Don't hiss. Hiram Johnson was my brother ‘Theodore Roosevelt's friend. He is a friendly acquaintance who has gone a wrong road toward radicalism since 1912 He has been thinking wrong and warped thoughts.” ‘To Hoover she gave unstinted praise but added that he had been for four- teen years more out of than in the country. She sald Hoover was still young and that if he would remain here dur- ing the next few years Hoover could render the country untold service, Burr Mcintosh and Gilda Vareal also ad- dres the audience of five hundred people. — HAVRE DE GRACE ENTRIES. 1 DE GRAOK, 4. nOrOW R Tuc ate RAT RACH-Maidous Ywo-year-olds; walling: four and » half furlongs Wf, Griewa, 11 onemiel, 107: *Gladys, 100; Katherine Beal, 11 Ws it A. 110; Northern Lady, vis It is no secret that the White House | > Plaiming; thros-yaar-olde and m.—Oominanctie, 10.
